What notes are in Gsus2?
Gsus2, G suspended second, is G, A and D: the root (G), the major second (A) and the perfect fifth (D). Its formula is 1 2 5.
Is Gsus2 the same as Gadd9?
No, though the names point at the same extra note, A. Gsus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; Gadd9 keeps the third, B, and adds the ninth on top.
Where does Gsus2 go?
Often back to G or Gm, A moving up to the third. It also works on its own as an open, ringing chord.
